if rates or other charges. and repress and
expo>e to the state every species of in
justice, fraud or error; this should be
done both in the interest Of the public
and legitimate capital invested in these
enterprises. o."
The facts as to all these matters may
become as well known and sscertained
with as great facility and accuracy by
agents and experts in the employment of
the state as to the railroad men them
selves, and the state thus fortified with
complete knowledge of both the good and
evil of the present management will find
but little difficulty in applying the rene
dies
A commission to represent the state and
a system of open bookkeeping by the rail-
roads, IN which shall be recorded every
fact Of its business history from the time
the first spadetul of earth is cast
and on through all its various stages of
construction and operation, and full and
complete report by the commission to
the state will leave but few arbitrary or
severe measures of legislation necessary.
Actual capital and labor invested in these
great and beneficent enterprises is as
much entitled to q fair re ward as that en-
gagged in any other pursuit, and to claim
dividends on Sl0,000,000 while only five
are invested, is as unj ust as for bank to
give It's customer the use OF $1,000 and
charge him interest on $1,000, or for the
state to assess and collect of q citizen
500 for public purpose when only $50
is required. Many of the evils of the
present management of the roads can and
must be corrected. The peopleIwill submit
to nothing less.
The dominant idea in the legislative
mind should be this: First, the power
and duty is repOSed in the sovereign to
provide public highways. Second, if this
power be delegated TO corporations the
latter are nevertheless the agents of the
state, and, whilst entitled to fair remun-
Grafton for the capital andlabor employed
by them, must re: der an account to the
state of their stewardship.
The mere statement of these PROPOSE
tionS show st once the demand for over
seers or commissioners on the part of the
state to be as much necessity as in any
other public works. The railroads of the
United States to-day represent an as
sumed capital of double the actual amour.
invested, and upon it all, actual and
fictitious, there was declared last year q
dividend of over per cent. Moreover
of the actual amount invested in rail
roads not more than one half is necessary
to do the carrying trade of this country,
| if, instead of building roads that "com-
menCe nowhere and end Nowhere" they
had been judiciously and wisely distrib.
uted over the country. As it is the bur,
den is imposed upon the products of the
country to produce net dividends upoE
three or four times the capital actually
required for the service rendered. And
yet, in the face of oil these facts, we &C
on building new railroads, with mOre
watered stocks to impose still greater bur
dens upon the people. Give US 3 COM
mission, with power, at least, to tell Us
when, how and by whom we are robbed

FISHER COUNTY.
Want a Railway-sun Waiting fer Rain.
An open Winter.

An open winter.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
ROBY, TEX, Jan. 27-On the oath the
Commissioners court met to fill the va
cancy in the County Clerks office occa-
stoned by the death of Mr.. William Tug
gle on the 2lst inst, at Sweetwater, Tex.
There We're four candidates, Mr.. W. S
Rector being the successful party. He
gave bond immediately and entered on
the duties of his office, his first act being
to issue marriage license to Mr. F. j .
Tizzo and n SIS Minnie Burkett, the same
being the first since the organization of
the county.
We look anxiously for and expect the
building of railroad through our coun-
ty, and stand ready to offer and give any
possible or reasonable inducement to that
end. Fort Worth, with all its booming in
the way of railroads, ought to accommo-
date US.
The rains noticed in THE GAZETTE to
have visited other sections have not
reached US yet. Much wheat was planted
last fall, and it has been needing rain for
some time, and will yet come out if it
rairs soon.
The winter so far has been remarkably
favorable to cattle, the weather having
been mid, with few cold snaps. Some
people fear late winter which will find
cattle in 8 reduced condition, but there
seems to be no serious danger of it.
The drouth has not kept immigrants
from coming in by scores. Our land is
so rich that the opportunity cannot be
missed by those knowing what Fisher
county offers to the home seeker. School
land can yet be had at 81 an acre, and
there is still good land liable to the home
stead laws, and our latch-key hangs on the
outside.
